~I Ran Like I Was Dying!~

I was outside this morning, minding my own business. I had a cup of coffee in my hands while I was letting the dog out to use the bathroom. All of a sudden there was a buzzing noise so I quickly moved away from the noise. Then it started chasing me! Anywhere I went-it followed. I was so scared I started running and scrambling to get into the house. I spilled a perfectly good cup of coffee all over myself and the ground. I ran into the house (avoiding the sting of the wasp) and told my husband to bring the dog inside. I was scared for my life! My neighbor probably thinks I am losing my mind...

I can understand you : I have an allergy to wasp stings and I am scared by them. I think that your picture shows a hornet, not a wasp. They are peaceful, and attack even less than bees.

@LovingMyBabies I am terrorized by wasps : a sting of a wasp makes me inflate during 2 or 3 days. I had a wasp in the house 3 weeks ago, and I open my windows only when my shutters are closed now.

Now that must have been a sight. I guess the wasp was determined to sting you. I would probably get a little freaked as well if the wasp was following me.

I am afraid of wasps (not many here) and of bees. When a bee enters my house I do my best to shoo it away unharmed.

I get bees in the house in the summer time. I don't know how they get in, but they like my bedroom light. I was stung multiple times at night by these wasps/yellow jackets/hornets. I would spray and I had to stay up half the night and then make sure they were not on my bed or they would sting me again. Makes me want to move to Antartica.

@LovingMyBabies Thanks! Those things were very aggressive. They see me coming up the stairs and they zoom over and go for my face. I hate things like that.

Aww. . If prior to the wasp attack she had had a premonition that she was going to spill a cup of coffee all over herself while running from the wasp , she probably would have opted to finish drinking the coffee indoors before coming outside.

I'm glad you managed to get back in safely. I'd be scared as well. At our old place, we did have some wasps fly near our front door and window. Anytime I'd see some through the window, I wouldn't dare to go out.

The sting of a wasp is really hurting. You were lucky to get away from the wasp. I imagine you running scared of this insect.

If I were you, @LovingMyBabies, I would not only run but I would also jump. Yes. It's true! Any flying insect makes me jump. That wasp and your coffee reminded me of my coffee one early morning. I was really enjoying watching my favorite Korean drama when suddenly a cockroach got inside my room and landed inside my mug of coffee!!! I hate those people who don't clean their room that's why cockroaches love living here.

I hate bugs with a passion. I wish sometimes they never existed. I have had that happen to me a few times where the bug just follows wherever I went. Horrible feeling. I never got stung and hope I never will.

Three years ago, I wouldn't even know what a wasp looks like. From where I was born and grew up, wasps were not common. Now that I moved here, I didn't know any better, until I saw first hand what a sting does to a person. The neighbor's kid was stung and he looked so miserable. They have to call the ambulance because they don't think they will get in the hospital on time. I don't blame you for bailing out from your dogs - I would too.

Do you have a wasp nest around your house somewhere? You might try locating it and getting rid of it. That won't be easy though. You'll need to ask someone how to get rid of it the safe way.

I'm pretty sure a couple years ago when I was weed eating my neighbor thought I had lost my mind. Around a rose bush I started getting stung as I went over a yellow jacket's nest. I threw the weed eater to the ground and flung my arms around like a wild woman. He came over to see if I was okay and when he saw the weed eater partly covered with yellow jackets he took off, he's allergic. I went in to see the damage and my mouth looked like I had taken one too many Botox injections. This is why I really really really love winter the best...we don't look like idiots in front of our neighbors by running from stinging biting creatures Have a blessed day
